Chapter 687: I'll Take the Responsibility
Xia Xun rushed to Pengjiazhuang, and was invited into the inner house before the cold noise, and came to a very important building, which was the place where the leaders of the Peng family gathered to discuss important matters.
Previously, Xia Shi had already informed the Peng family to clean up as soon as possible to prevent future troubles, so it was not surprising to see that the Peng family was so cautious, but when he was taken to the back house, he heard that the Peng family had already fought with Jinyiwei and arrested the four Jinyiwei, he couldn't help but feel angry.
He didn't care about the fact that these people in front of him were all the elders of his wife, and he should maintain the deference of the juniors, so he angrily asked, "Elders, what did I say in the letter?" Why do you want to take the initiative? Is the Peng family really going to rebel? β
The owner of Peng Zhuang was very embarrassed by the NV son-in-law's question, so he had to helplessly explain the scriptures: "Virtuous son-in-law, it's not that we want to take the initiative to provoke them, but they entered Pengjiazhuang at night and saw things that shouldn't be seen, so we can't help but do it."
Xia Tao was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" β
Master Peng Zhuang said: "It's some Taoist treasures, scriptures, and worshiped gods and other utensils, we are destroying them according to your instructions, who expected,"
Xia Tao's face became cold, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you caught those people?" β
Master Peng Zhuang said: "There are four people who have infiltrated Zhuangzi, and they have all been caught, and the other two have escaped from watching the wind, but they have not seen anything. β
Peng Zhangqi also knew that this matter was too important, once something happened, not only would it be a catastrophe for the Peng family, but Xia Xun's hereditary replacement, and the title of duke who retired with the Ming Dynasty would also be lost, maybe he would lose his head, and he was worried and sad in his heart, and said timidly: "Xianggong, the situation at that time, I have to do it, if we let them escape back, they will immediately notify their people to break into our Zhuangzi, and I am afraid that it will be too late to destroy it: as for the four people who were caught, we deliberately made the momentum bigger, To the outside world, it is only said that the thieves broke into the village to steal, and when the thieves were captured, they resisted with weapons, and they were beaten to death by Minzhuang LuΓ nbΔng, and now the body has been given to the Qingzhou Mansion. We searched them ahead of time and destroyed everything that could prove their identity,"
After Xia Tao was angry, he had calmed down, he thought about it carefully, and asked again: "What else is there in Zhuangzi that can be pointed out as evidence now?" β
The owner of Peng Zhuang hurriedly guaranteed the ticket and said: "No, absolutely not." The Peng family has been cleaned up and cleaned, and there is absolutely no evidence to be found. β
When Xia Tao heard this, he sank up, and paced slowly in the hall while thinking.
The elders of the Peng family were all heroes and heroes who fought with swords and blood, but now they have children, sons and feathers, and their temples are white, and the heroic spirit of the past is gone.
Seeing that Xia Shi didn't speak for a long time, the owner of Peng Zhuang added: "Virtuous son-in-law, within a radius of 100 miles, all the subordinates of the Peng family have been instructed, and there are our eyeliner everywhere, last night we deliberately said that it was to capture the thieves, and the big and small roads in the direction of Qingzhou City were all blocked by us, and the two fish that slipped through the net could only escape elsewhere, and they might not be able to go far with their footsteps, maybe they could be caught back by us!" β
Xia Tao shook his head and said: "If they really didn't see anything, then it doesn't matter if they live or die, since I'm back, they won't dare to touch Pengjiazhuang until they are sure, this dumb lose, they have to eat if they don't want to." It's just that now that they've done it, I'm afraid they're even more reluctant to give up, Pengjiazhuang, really haven't left the slightest handle,"
After talking for a long time, I didn't know how many hole cards the opponent had mastered, and I couldn't formulate any countermeasures in time, so I could only take one step at a time, Xia Shi told Master Peng Zhuang that not only all the things related to the White Lotus Sect should be destroyed, but all other things that were prohibited should also be left behind. At the same time, he also reassured them to do everything as usual, and not to make a posture as if they were facing a great enemy.
The owner of Peng Zhuang knew that this time he was fighting with the imperial court, and it was fighting with the most ferocious dog in the imperial court, they were laymen in this regard, and they had to listen to Xia Tao.
After everyone had finished discussing and left in a hurry, the hall was empty, only Xia Tao and Peng Ziqi were left, seeing Xia Xun's thick eyebrows locked, worried, Peng Ziqi suddenly shed tears, she took two steps forward, and cried: "Xianggong!" β
Xia Tao was thinking about his thoughts, and when he heard the sound and looked up, Peng Ziqi had already knelt down straight in front of him, and said with tears streaming down his cheeks: "Xianggong, I am very happy to marry Xianggong all these years." Xiang Gong married the sister of the queen of the dynasty, but he did not dislike Zi Qi's humble background, and always gave Zi Qi the identity of a wife, Zi Qi felt in his heart that Zi Qi wanted to be able to serve the Xiang Gong for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect the disaster to follow the heavens, "This is the sin of the Peng family, and it has nothing to do with the Xiang Gong and the Xiang Gong only does not know about it,"
Peng Ziqi choked up and said: "Now Xianggong is looking for a mistake for me, just find a mistake casually, just say, just say that Xianggong arrived in Pengjiazhuang, just happened to bump into Ziqi did not abide by the fΓΉ road, and communicated with people, Xianggong gave me a letter of resignation, and cut off the relationship with the Peng family from now on. Isn't it just that all the officials in the world who have committed crimes have hastily severed ties with their families? β
Peng Ziqi was even more desperate when he heard it: "Then, if the real thing breaks out and is known to the imperial court, it is better to let the Xianggong take it personally and take the life of Ziqi's family."
It's better to die in the hands of Xianggong. Xianggong and the emperor have great kindness, so show their hearts, the emperor will definitely believe you, not to mention, there is Ming'er to protect you, you will definitely be safe: it's just that our NV is not more serious, innocent is very innocent, I ask Xianggong to save her,"
Xia Tao shook his head and said, "The child is innocent, aren't you innocent?" If it weren't for me, Ji Gang might not have found out about the Peng family. Zhangqi, don't think nonsense, things haven't reached the point of despair, let's not take our own feet! Don't worry, I've got you covered! β
He gently wiped away the tears on Peng Zhangqi's cheeks, hugged her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said softly: "Back then, I betrayed the court, defected to King Yan, and died without knowing where I was. Don't say that kind of heartless words again! β
"Xianggong!"
Peng Ziqi was moved to tears, she raised her head to look at Xia Tao, her teary eyes were full of relief and feeling, how many men in this world do not value their careers or futures, but they take the infatuation of an NV family so seriously? She can have such a good husband, I really don't know if it is a blessing that she has cultivated in several lifetimes!
Xia Tao held her shaved shoulder, stared into her eyes, and said, "But, even if we can stop this crisis, what about the next time?" The Peng family bears such an identity, which is a big trouble after all: what is the Peng family insisting on inheriting this incense for? Do you really believe that Maitreya was born and King Ming was born? Don't you think about mastering a force, so that the Peng family can have a share of the family business to inherit and rely on?
But this force brings not only power and security, but also a butcher's knife and death, death, does the current Peng family still need to rely on this force that the court does not tolerate? With the wealth and business that the Peng family now controls, as long as the sons and daughters are angry, why can't they be prosperous from generation to generation? If the sons are not angry, if you give him an iron bucket, you can also be defeated by him, let alone an altar master? β
Xia Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly to Peng Ziqi: "Ziqi, help me!" Work with me to convince your father that as long as there is no longer the Huaixi Peng family in the White Lotus Sect, I will take this matter on my shoulders! Everything is done, everything is born; Defeat, death together! β
When the two wives were talking in the hall, a tall firewood cart squeaked into Pengjiazhuang, and the old cow walked slowly and methodically to Peng's house, and the man who drove the car answered a few words with the guard MΓ©n Zhuang Ding, and then entered the Peng family compound from the side.
A group of family members surrounded their relatives and moved the top firewood away, and saw Yin Shenghui and Zhang Puxin like fΓ©i pigs raised by four hooves, lying firmly in the firewood and straw, their hair full of grass roots and leaves: they had rags stuffed in their mouths, staring at them with big eyes, and several big men on them looked down at them with murderous eyes, Zhong Canghai and Gao Xiang were in a small inn in Zihedian, gnawing on pig's head rΓ²u, drinking inferior soju brewed in the countryside, so they were not embarrassed.
The two of them drank wine sullenly, Zhong Canghai poured a glass of wine into his stomach, wiped his mouth, glared at Gao Xiang and said, "Sixth, what should we do now?" β
Gao Xiang took a bite of the pig's head, chewed it sullenly for a long time, and then said: "Fourth brother, the auxiliary prince has arrived, and here in Qingzhou, I'm afraid there will be no drama." β
Zhong Canghai glared and said, "Then what should I do?" Four died, and the whereabouts of Xiao Yin and the two are now unknown, when did our Jinyiwei suffer such a big loss? That's it? β
Gao Xiang said hesitantly: "Fourth brother, don't be unconvinced, our Jinyiwei has suffered a big loss at the hands of the Auxiliary Guogong!" I think that when Luo Heshi laid a net in the Zhongshan Palace, the people of Fuguo Gong still came and went freely, at that time, our Lord Ji was still waving flags and shouting at the hands of Fuguo Gong:"
Zhong Canghai stopped talking after hearing this, and Gao Xiang drank again. The wine, smacking the taste, scolded fiercely: "Damn, how much water is mixed with this black-hearted shopkeeper!" β
Zhong Canghai said angrily: "Do you still have the heart to drink?" β
Gao Xiang didn't say in a daze: "What can you do if you don't drink?" As soon as the Fu Guogong arrived, even if Master Ji was here, he would be helpless. Let's have some wine and rest early. Now, it's up to Puzi County, as long as the other side can catch the real evidence, this game of dead chess will be alive! β
